White paper for Vessel operators, ship managers, crewing

Your ship already has a rating before it berths.

How the profile is formed under Directive 2009/16/EC, which part of it is yours to move, which twelve deadlines fall between now and 2035, and what a training record has to do to survive a crew rotation.

The problem this is about

Article 27 of Directive 2009/16/EC obliges the Commission to publish companies rated low and very low performing. Anyone rated that way for at least three months. Your charterers read the same list your competitors do.

The historical part of the profile reaches back 36 months. A poor rating needs only individual criteria to be met; a good one needs all of them. A fleet slips down quickly and works its way back slowly.

What is inside

  • How the ship risk profile is formed, and which of its parameters responds to what you do
  • Twelve deadlines through 2035 in one table, each with its article and citation
  • Why the MRV document of compliance is now part of a port state inspection: Art. 25 of Regulation (EU) 2015/757
  • Five obligations nobody treats as training topics, which produce deficiencies all the same
  • Six requirements for a training record that survives a crew rotation: vendor-neutral

For vessel operators and ship managers holding flag state, class, port state and EU law together in one operation, and for crewing departments that have to carry the record across every rotation.
